Chapter 21 Noah Boulevard Heat crept up my chest, my grip tightening on the spoon I was holding as my eyes swept over her body, memories of years ago clawed back into my mind. The way those long straight legs curled around me that night… the way those fingers dug into my back… the way those small lips made my body heat up by every touch that night. It was an unforgettable night, and now that she was standing here, looking so sexy in that shirt, I couldn't help this feeling… This burning desire that has been eating into my soul ever since she came back. “Wh…what are you staring at?” She stuttered covering her thighs with her hands. “My eyes are up here.” She added coldly, dragging my eyes up to her face. “Stop staring at me like that.” She muttered. “You look so gorgeous in that shirt that you had my eyes hooked on you.” I said, resisting the urge to add 'just like eight years ago'. She might get mad at me if I did. Her cheeks flushed, but she quickly masked it with a

Chapter 22 Vivianne Sinclair I turned to glare at Noah the moment I recognised the place. His dad's place. He squeezed his face apologetically. "I'll make it up to you, I promise.” I rolled my eyes. Well, still good. I'm sure this is the man who ordered my expulsion then. This is a chance to give him a piece of my mind. Without a word, I stepped out of the car, and Noah did the same. My eyes swept around the mansion ahead of me. No lies, it screams luxury. Noah's dad is the wealthiest man in this part of the world... I wonder why the man would pair him up with Bailey. What business could they have together because obviously, my dad barely have anything to offer Mr. Boulevard. It probably runs deeper than just a contract... I have a bad feelings about this. My heart skipped as Noah's fingers slid into mine without warning, his whisper followed. "Let's go." My fingers subconsciously tightened on his even if it just for a split second before I quickly retracted my han

Chapter 23 Vivianne Sinclair I pulled up at the restaurant. The same one Scott and I went a few days ago. I liked their food, so I think Noah might like it too. “Didn't know such a place exists…” Noah said as he pulled out a chair to sit. “Yeah… Scott brought me here days ago. Their food is really nice here. You'll enjoy it.” I saw his eyes flicker with anger for a moment, then he subtly nodded without saying a word. Jealous? No way! “Do you like something spicy? That's what we had last time when we came here.” I blurted out, and he scoffed. “No, thanks. I'll pass.” Oops! I shouldn't have mentioned that. “Waiter!” He called out, and a young slim lady walked over to us, her face brightened with a smile once she noticed Noah. “Oh, my God! Is that really you, Noah? Noah Boulevard?” She gasped, covering her mouth, her eyes widened… as if she'd just seen a celebrity. ‘What are you saying, Vivianne? Noah is an award winning hockey player. He's known everywhere. Of

Chapter 24 Vivianne Sinclair “I'm bored. How about we go shopping?” Noah suggested as we stepped out of the restaurant. “Shopping? Is that what you do when you're bored?” He reached for the door handle as we reached the car, then looked back at me and smiled. “Not really. Just trying it for the first time. I heard it's really effective, especially when you want to clear your head.” I almost laughed out loud. That's for rich people. Just imagine a broke bitch like me. “I see.” I drove us to the biggest boutique in town. Noah had suggested we go there since it'll be 'fun' there. “Oh, shit!” He sighed the moment I pulled over at the parking lot, and I turned to him. “I don't have my mask with me.” I almost asked why he needed a mask, but signed when I recalled that he's a celebrity who probably has many fans there. Sighs. I better get him one. I'm not sure I'm ready for what happened earlier to repeat itself. “Wait here… I'll go get you one.” Then I turned to ste

Chapter 25 Vivianne Sinclair I stood before the mirror, eyes scanning my reflection. “He's got a great taste.” I muttered, checking out how perfect the red dress looked on me. It was one of the dresses Noah got me yesterday. Whoever said ‘you can never go wrong with a red dress’ is definitely right, because fuck! It's always beautiful. I picked up my handbag from the bed before stepping out of the room. My heels clicked against the floor as I descended the staircase, but the pounding in my heart was louder… I heard it clearly. For a second, I thought of going back inside to change, but before I could decide, Noah came into view. His face brightened, and a smile curled his lips as his eyes swept over me. “Hey, lady in a red dress… Good morning.” He teased me, his eyes didn't leave mine. It felt as though he was stripping me with his eyes, and I fucking loved that. “Yeah, good morning.” I replied casually, avoiding his gaze. “You look gorgeous. I think I just fe

Chapter 26 Vivianne Sinclair He lifted his hand in a bid to slap me, but Scott walked in at that moment. “You're not about to hit her, are you? Mark, really?” He tightened his fingers in the air, then shot me a glare before his hand dropped to his side. Scott walked over to me, held my hand, and dragged me out of the locker room, and into my office. “Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?” He held my shoulders, eyes scanning me worriedly. “I'm fine.” I flashed him a smile, and he sighed, his hands dropping to his sides. “What happened between you two?” “It's nothing. I've handled it.” I said, going to sit on my chair. “I told you not to mess with him. What do you think you were doing?” He said, frustrated. “He can screw you over with just a call. You'll lose your job and—” “How about you tell him to stop messing with me instead?” He raised a brow. “I don't give a shit about whatever background he's from. Screw him and his fucking background. But I will no

Chapter 27 Vivianne Sinclair “Are you sure you're fine?” Noah asked for the umpteenth time as he drove me home. I had bruised my elbow when I fell earlier. “Yeah, I'm fine.” I stared out through the window, my head resting on the headrest, and my cheeks burning hot with smiles as memories of earlier replayed in my head. That was one hella crazy moment. “Shall we grab lunch together?” He glanced at me, and as if my stomach was waiting for that, it grumbled loud enough for him to hear. “I guess that's a yes.” Sighs. Yeah, I'm hungry. Noah drove us to the restaurant. The most popular five-star restaurant in the city. I heard only wealthy people patronise them here. “We could've gone somewhere else. This place looks expensive.” I muttered as we stepped into the restaurant. My eyes swept around. Two chairs were arranged around each table, with white tablecloth on, and a flower vase each. What if his dad really succeeds in screwing him over? How will he survive?

Chapter 28 Vivianne Sinclair Evening ‘Bitch, where the hell are you? Are you keeping Noah away from me deliberately?’ ‘Fucking answer me, Vivianne!’ ‘Vivianne! You better reply my fucking messages! I'm going to make your life miserable!’ ‘I'm going to make sure you fucking lose your job if you keep messing with me. I'm going to ruin your fucking life, bitch!’ I rolled my eyes, glancing through the bunch of texts Bailey had sent to me for the last few hours. “Give it a rest already, Bailey. You are becoming pathetic, and it's annoying.” I muttered, letting out a sigh. Just as I turned to go back into the room from the balcony, my phone rang. Dad. My inside burned with anger. I know he's calling me because of Bailey. God! I hate that man so much. His text popped in just as the call ended. ‘What do you think you're doing, Vivianne? Going after your sister's fiancé now? You are so shameless! Come over to the house immediately!’ Tch! Sister? Fuck that. Bold of

Chapter 29 Vivianne Sinclair A smile curled my lips, eyes locked on Noah as he sat on the bench in the arena, fixing his skate. Heat pooled below my stomach as memories of last night clawed back into my mind. He lifted his gaze, his eyes meeting mine briefly, and his face softened, but I quickly looked away even before he could smile at me. “You should tell him if you like him.” A familiar voice echoed behind me, and my heart skipped. Scott! I turned to him, pressing a hand against my chest. He smirked. “Did I startle you?” I rolled my eyes. He chuckled. “Sorry about that…” “You kept staring at Noah. Do you like him?” I huffed. “No way! I don't like him!” "Do you love him then?" "No, I don't..." I said, my voice almost soft. His brows knitted together. “Your eyes said otherwise though.” Fucking hell! My eyes again? Ugh! I hate how they always sell me out. I can't even lie peacefully? Ugh! Annoying. But wait! Do I really love Noah? Hell no! How could

Chapter 30 Noah Boulevard ‘You have successfully made a reservation for a table of two at Eclipse dines…’ I sent Vivianne a text, asking to meet at the parking lot. First date with her. I grabbed my backpack, and as I turned to step out of the locker room, I saw Mark. He stood at the doorway, his eyes locked on me, jaw tightened, and face dripping with disdain. My eyes dropped to his bandaged wrist, and I raised a brow. No thoughts, no words. “You did that deliberately, didn't you?” He stepped inside, stopping right in front of me. I stared silently. “You fucking ran me over on the ice rink, didn't you? That wasn't an accident, was it?” Bingo! I thought he would never guess it. Sweet that he did. I smiled softly, glancing at his hand. “That didn't turn out bad, anyway.” His face hardened, and the next second, he grabbed my collar with just a hand, slamming me into one of the lockers. “Why did you do that? What the fuck were you thinking?” He gritted angrily
